Mother Nature continued to bring relief to an on-going drought in parts of Nebraska last week.
Farmer Don Batie of Lexington says he was able to wrap up planting between rain events. “We’ve gotten some rainfall, 2 to 3 inches over the last couple of weeks. We’re not horrible, but we’re still behind.”
The latest crop progress and condition report from USDA says topsoil moisture is 62 percent adequate-to-surplus with subsoil moisture 46 percent adequate-to-surplus.
